Comforting Keto Egg Drop Soup

The first time I was introduced to Egg Drop Soup was when I was in my early 20’s and a friend worked at a high end Vancouver restaurant.

They made it for me and I couldn’t believe how easy and simple it was. Broth, eggs, lots of pepper and a sprinkle of green on top for visual appeal.

To this day I still make it when I have a cold or feel like just having a fast and hot bowl of keto compliant soup.

Why is Keto Egg Drop Soup so good for low carb dieters?

It is budget friendly and easy to make
No special tools or ingredients
Egg Drop soup is a perfect meal to have if suffering Keto flu symptoms or any type of cold and flu symptoms
It’s a 5 minute keto compliant meal
You can easily make an keto egg fast soup version (be sure to watch the video)

What Ingredients will you need for Egg Drop soup?

Eggs
for regular keto you can use broth (the restaurant used beef broth but you can certainly use chicken)
Egg fasters will use water instead of broth
Butter (optional for the non egg fasters but adds a nice creaminess to the broth)
spices such as onion and garlic powder (optional)
salt and pepper
garnish (optional)

You will also need:

A pot
Whisk or fork
A bowl to eat it up in!
